OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to create the preoperative predictive model on mediastinal lymph-node metastasis based on artificial intelligence in surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma.
The surgical instruments used in robot-assisted thoracic surgery are flexible to enable the surgeon to approach the surgical field from any direction. However even in robot-assisted thoracic surgery subcarinal lymph node dissection requires a precise...
BACKGROUND: In oncology, the correct determination of nodal metastatic disease is essential for patient management, as patient treatment and prognosis are closely linked to the stage of the disease. The aim of the study was to develop a tool for auto...
OBJECTIVES: Cervical lymph nodes with internal cystic changes are seen with several pathologies, including papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), tuberculosis (TB), and HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV+OPSCC). Differentiating these...
Deep learning models based on medical images play an increasingly important role for cancer outcome prediction. The standard approach involves usage of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to automatically extract relevant features from the patient's...
N-staging is a determining factor for prognostic assessment and decision-making for stage-based cancer therapeutic strategies. Visual inspection of whole-slides of intact lymph nodes is currently the main method used by pathologists to calculate the ...
BACKGROUND: Survival rate may be predicted by tumor-node-metastasis staging systems in colon cancer. In clinical practice, about 20 to 30 clinicopathological factors and blood test data have been used. Various predictive factors for recurrence have b...
